Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a new cobalt-nickel alloy composition that has specific amounts of different elements such as cobalt, chromium, aluminium, tungsten, nickel, niobium, tantalum, and molybdenum. The alloy can also contain other impurities like iron, manganese, molybdenum, aluminium, tantalum, niobium, titanium, silicon, carbon, and zirconium. The alloy can be made from a powder produced by argon gas atomization or ingot metallurgy. The technical effects of the invention include improved mechanical properties and better performance in high-temperature applications.

Problems solved by technology

The components operating within these portions, such as e.g. disc rotors, aerofoils or casings, are often under high stress caused by rotational, pressure or other forces.

Embodiment Construction

[0025]Metallic alloys are compositions comprising a mixture of metallic elements. Subjecting some Ni containing alloys to specific heat treatments or other processing steps permits precipitation strengthening by the formation of gamma prime (γ′) precipitates. Cobalt-nickel alloys containing Al and W can be precipitation strengthened by the ordered L12Co3(Al, W) γ′ precipitates as well as the Ni3Alγ′ precipitates that are found in conventional Ni base superalloys.

[0026]The ordered L12γ′ phase of Co is denser than an unordered Co matrix such that the precipitation of the γ′ phase increases the density of the alloy whilst the high temperature strength and temperature capability is improved. The density of the alloy has an engine weight penalty that offsets the improved temperature capability of the alloy.

[0027]By contrast the ordered L12γ′ phase of nickel is less dense than the matrix Ni, which permits a virtuous circle in Ni based superalloys such that an increase in γ′ content result...

Abstract

A cobalt-nickel alloy composition comprising by weight (wt %): about 31 to 42 percent cobalt (Co); about 26 to 31 percent nickel (Ni); about 10 to 16 percent chromium (Cr); about 4 to 6 percent aluminium (Al); about 6 to 15 percent tungsten (W); the Co and Ni being present in an atomic ratio of about 1.3:1

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to alloys suitable for high temperature applications and particularly cobalt / nickel alloys that may be used to manufacture components in a gas turbine engine.BACKGROUND OF INVENTION[0002]Certain portions of a gas turbine engine are expected to operate for extended periods of time at temperatures above 700° C. and to peak temperatures of 800° C. or more. The components operating within these portions, such as e.g. disc rotors, aerofoils or casings, are often under high stress caused by rotational, pressure or other forces.[0003]There is a requirement to provide improved alloys that extend temperature capability or the number of operating cycles and operation time for components within difficult conditions in order to provide an affordable service life.[0004]It is an object of the present invention to seek to provide an improved alloy.STATEMENTS OF INVENTION[0005]According to a first aspect of the invention there is provided a co...
